Sermons

We are on the frontier of a full year and as much as we would like to know what is going to happen this year we don’t. That is why we need the account of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus fleeing Bethlehem. Jesus, as the Savior of the world, experience the same realities of life that can sometimes be brutal and viscious. Yet every step of the way God’s salvation cannot be stopped. Even in the face of a reality which can be brutal and viscious. When looking ahead to an unknown future the fact that God’s salvation cannot be stopped is a profound comfort.

From Series: "A Savior is Born"

The first Christmas sermon was preached to a small congregation consisting entirely of shepherds. The preacher was an angel. The message of his sermon? “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” That is a heavy word: Savior. It says as much about us as it does about this child. If the angel had said “a teacher has been born” or “a mentor has been born,” it would mean that within us exists the potential to fix all that is wrong with the world. It would mean we just need a bit of help: a coach, a mentor, a source of inspiration. But the angel said, “A Savior has been born.” If one needs saving, it means he is totally helpless— completely lost—doomed, without outside intervention. That is how God the Father viewed us: helpless, lost, doomed. So, he sent more than a coach. He sent his only Son to be our Savior.
